Why your own search lies to you
Google answers from where you are. Search your own service from the office and you will usually see yourself near the top, because proximity is doing the work. This tool moves the search instead of the searcher.
Google personalises results by location — so search from the city or street corner you actually want to win, not from your own desk.
Free, and no sign-up
Any city or exact map point
Results straight from Google
Google answers from where you are. Search your own service from the office and you will usually see yourself near the top, because proximity is doing the work. This tool moves the search instead of the searcher.
A city-level check gives one answer for a whole market. Rankings change street by street, so the number that matters is the one from the neighbourhood you are trying to win — which is what the exact-point mode gives you.
Google’s own "Next" button is not guaranteed to carry the location override with it. Use the page links the tool builds and every result page stays anchored to the same spot.
It is a single live look, not a tracked history or a full grid of your service area. If you need the whole picture over time, that is what the free market audit covers.
This checks a single point at a single moment. A full grid audit shows where you win and lose across the whole service area, over time.
